Peters second chance

The reason why I recommend this book is that if you have talents try to find a way to put it top good use. Another reason why I recommend this book is because it shows no matter how much you hate someone you should help them if they are injured or become injured. Also if you want something bad enough work for it you may get it. An excellent example of having a talent and using it is when peter fixes a bike that dose not even run. A good example of helping some that you hate that is in trouble and trying to help them is when Dex wipes out during a race, peter gives up the lead to help Dex to safety. If you want something bad enough work for it and you may get it. The example of this is when dex wiped out and peter helped him, peter finished the race ahead of dex, this is something peter wanted for a very long time.

Watch Kids! By Robert

Have you ever thought of running away from home? In Dirt Bike Runaway, Peter ran away from his foster home. Well in my opinion I believe that his adventures were exciting and mind blowing, BUT I don't recommended that anyone run away. In the story Peter meets Jess Kutter, Bill Rocco, Dexter. The book starts out as a fight between Dex (A.K.A. Dexter) and Peter. In the middle he met Giff & D.C. You are not going to believe all the mischief these boys get themselves into. Peter is well on his way to getting the REAL family he deserves. Find out who he calls family. Dirt bike runaway is a great book that will really knock your socks off! The author was Matt Christopher. This is one of the gratis book I have ever read .I would remand this book to anyone. I rate it a five stars.

Dirt Bike Runaway

The book, Dirt Bike Runaway was written by Matt Christopher. My favorite character was Peter because he was good at riding dirt bikes. Some other characters were Dexter Pasina, Jesse Kutter, and Peter's sister. They were the main characters. My favorite part was when, Peter and Dexter weren't friends until Dexter asked Peter to work for him. The job was to steal car parts. Peter said no and then they started to argue and that turned into them fighting. Dexter beat him up and knocked him out. Peters best friend was Giff, they were good friends. They rode motercrosses against Dexter. At the end of the story Dexter and Peter became good friends. To conclude, I think Dirt Bike Runaway was a good book.

Dirt Bikes

Peter Lewinski, a mechanic who works on dirt bikes, runs away from his foster home, the Bentleys, because he was treated poorly. He also ran away because he was always getting in trouble. After Peter reaches Cypress Corner, he stays with friends. Later, Peter finds out he is in more trouble staying with those 3 friends. I think this is a good book to read because if you've never really experienced what dirt bikes are like, this gives you an idea. I recommend this book for 4th-7th graders.
